This is probably only one of less than a dozen buildings in Ottawa that should actually be declared heritage. The tree huggers want every building more than twenty years old to be designated 'heritage' but the likes of the Somerset House (Ritz Hotel to the older crowd) just don't qualify. It is known for a place where drunks were over served and then as a queer hangout. What is historic about either of those things?
